@FabianHedin What a story. Two failed launches before it clicked—and three years later, $13.3B.

The part worth remembering is everything between those two points: relentless learning, iteration and execution.

Congrats to the entire Lovable team. 🚀

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

Investors snd the board see stalled growth.

But growth is a lagging indicator.

The deeper question: Is the company learning fast enough to adapt?

If customer, product and market signals aren’t changing decisions, more pressure may just amplify the wrong motion.

@_mikegrace Congrats.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@rosterloh That shift from helping someone use the system to actually getting work done is bigger than it sounds.

As software becomes more agentic, the human operating model around it has to evolve too.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@nebiusai Demand gets the attention, but execution is what compounds.

As growth accelerates, the companies that keep converting opportunity into results are usually the ones that stay unusually clear on priorities, ownership and operating rhythm.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@mntruell “Digital colleague” is the important framing.

Once AI can own multi-step work instead of just helping with a task, clear outcomes, handoffs, escalation and feedback loops become much more important.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@samaysham The opportunity here feels much bigger than inserting AI into existing workflows.

Across this many operating businesses, the real leverage comes from redesigning decisions, handoffs and roles around what AI can now do.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@harjotsgill Interesting that the bottleneck is shifting from generating more code to managing the change around it. That same pattern shows up organizationally: once capacity rises, clarity around ownership, impact and decisions becomes even more important.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@gpcastle12 Good times. Great conversation.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

It’s never been easier to start a company.

More capital. More programs. More technology. Fewer barriers.

But going from zero to billions in enterprise value?

That still takes exceptional people.

Great conversation with @gpcastle12 as we launch a new Tech Scenes Los Angeles episode.

@davep Six weeks from prototype to daily use across most of a company is the more interesting signal.

The biggest AI gains won’t come from adding another tool. They’ll come when the workflow itself changes and the team builds new habits around it.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@martin_casado The virtual coworker framing matters because it changes what leaders have to design around AI.

Once software owns work rather than just answering questions, clear outcomes, handoffs, escalation and accountability become operating-model questions.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

Incredible. ✨

Growth at this speed changes the management problem almost overnight. The challenge stops being finding opportunity and becomes keeping priorities, ownership and cross-functional decisions clear as the organization compounds.

That’s where hypergrowth either creates leverage or starts creating drag.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@katiekirsch @a16z Where innovation moves forward. ✨

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

@paulg Agree. I love the new level of ambition.

Founders are taking on harder, more consequential problems—and that’s exciting.

Now we need to match that ambition with a new level of execution.

The bigger the mission, the more execution matters.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

An operating system shouldn’t tell people exactly what to do. It should create the clarity, alignment, visibility, learning and operating rhythm that allow an organization to execute together as conditions change.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

What jumps out to me is that the advantage wasn’t the 7AM meeting. It was the operating rhythm they built around winning.

Meet earlier. Share information earlier. Reach the market earlier. Learn faster. Repeat.

Do that a thousand times and what looks like a small operational difference becomes a massive competitive advantage.

How you operate compounds.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

This is the paradox of AI. As the cost of building goes down, the value of knowing what to build, why it matters, and getting a team aligned around it goes up.

Technical capability is becoming abundant. Clarity, judgment and coordinated execution aren’t.

That’s where the real advantage is shifting

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

Open weights remove one deployment constraint, but they make the operating-model questions more important.

In regulated environments, the hard part quickly becomes deciding which work moves to AI, where judgment stays human, who owns exceptions, and how the organization knows the system is actually performing.

[Jeff James Martin @JeffJamesMartin]

Companies are about to have more intelligence than they know how to coordinate.

AI doesn’t eliminate the need for an operating system. It dramatically increases it.
